It has been said many times that the kitchen is the heart of the home; this is as true now as it has ever been in American history. Families gather for holiday togetherness in the kitchen, friends chat and laugh in kitchens everywhere, waiting for their hosts to prepare snack and treats. Due to their central position in all homes, having a clean, organized kitchen has become extremely important, making kitchen storage the perfect area to focus on when choosing a house warming gift for new home owners.

At one point, kitchens had silverware drawers, maybe a dish strainer, and possibly a canister to hold the big spoons. But today the possibilities are endless when it comes to kitchen storage. Some of the more common items are spice racks, shelf inserts, storage canisters, and my personal favorite, lid holders. These items have made kitchens more organized and 100% more functional.

When it comes to getting your kitchen organized, there's only so much drawer and cupboard space to go around. Unfortunately, most of us outgrew our kitchen the moment we moved into our homes. Now that we're there for more than 6 months it's almost overwhelming. Thankfully there's a lot you can do with kitchen storage and organizers to fight back against the chaos.
